HTPC Guru JPadua is helping me build my HTPC. So far, I've already bought the items below. My sister and her whole family will be coming home from the States for a visit end of May and will be bringing all these stuff for me (saving shipping costs as they virtually have nothing much to bring, and hopefully, no taxes).
I'm already excited but Jay cautioned me to wait for the items first before we buy the other stuff cause there might be compatibility issues. Not to mention warranty issues. I bought item 2 and 3 at Ebay.
Sorry if I feel like a small kid showing off what I bought. But I'm just too excited with this new project. With more members joining this thread maybe you can give me more suggestions, additions, and things to consider for this project.
Thanks. (special mention to JPadua who graciously demoed his own unit that made me decide to embark on this journey)
